Seedling Mortality and Herbivory Damage in Subtropical and Temperate Populations: Testing the Hypothesis of Higher Herbivore Pressure Toward the Tropics
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2010)
Herbivory rates are generally thought to be higher in tropical than in temperate forests. Nevertheless, tests of this biogeographic prediction by comparing a single plant species across a tropical-temperate range are scarce. ...
Herbivory and trampling by small mammals modify soil properties and plant assemblages
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
Question: Do trampling and herbivory by small mammals affect salt marsh physical and biological properties?. Location: Upper salt marsh, Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon, Argentina. Methods: A field experiment was placed from ...
Insect and plant traits drive local and landscape effects on herbivory in grassland fragments
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2019-05)
Herbivory is one of the most important antagonistic insect-plant interactions and can be influenced by factors at local and landscape scales. Landscape fragmentation may reduce herbivory directly (i.e., decreasing abundance ...
The effect of herbivory on seedling survival of the invasive exotic species Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus in a Mediterranean ecosystem of Central Chile
(ELSEVIER, 2008-10-15)
Herbivory may be an important factor affecting seedling survival of exotic species invading new habitats. We evaluated the effect of vertebrate herbivory on the seedling survival of two widely planted and invasive tree ...
Impact of Soil Rhizobacteria Inoculation and Leaf-Chewing Insect Herbivory on Mentha piperita Leaf Secondary Metabolites
(Springer, 2020-06)
Secondary metabolites commonly play important physiological roles in plants and can be modified quantitatively and qualitatively by exposure to biotic and abiotic interactions. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) ...
Herbivory alters plant carbon assimilation, patterns of biomass allocation and nitrogen use efficiency
(Elsevier Masson, 2018-01)
Herbivory can trigger physiological processes resulting in leaf and whole plant functional changes. The effects of chronic infestation by an insect on leaf traits related to carbon and nitrogen economy in three Prunus avium ...
Influência da incidência de trepadeiras na intensidade de herbivoria de 16 espécies nativas da Caatinga em um programa de restauração
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBrasilUFRNEcologia, 2019)
The Caatinga is in a state of chronic degradation that in several regions has triggered a process of desertification. Current restoration projects have advanced in overcoming classic problems through the use of facilitating ...
Effects of simulated herbivory on photosynthesis and N resorption efficiency in Quercus pyrenaica Willd. saplings
(Springer, 2008-12-01)
We examined the effects of simulated folivory by caterpillars on photosynthetic parameters and nitrogen (N) resorption efficiency in Quercus pyrenaica saplings. We analyzed the differences between intact leaves in control ...

Crab bioturbation and herbivory reduce pre- and post-germination success of Sarcocornia perennis in bare patches of SW Atlantic salt marshes
(Inter-Research, 2010-01)
Colonization of bare patches is a key process during community development given that pioneers usually have positive and negative effects on the forthcoming species. A variety of biotic and abiotic factors influence the ...
